Gary Player, the South African’s Gary Player, stopped by the broadcast to watch the action.
Adam Schupak , Adam Schupak of Golfweek reported the story originally.
Player said: “It’s amazing to see Annika Sorenstam become a member at Augusta. They never allowed women in the club, so now that a woman is a part of it, I find it fantastic.” “She is the best female golfer in the World, or was. Wonderful to see, Isn’t It?”
Sorenstam wasn’t the only woman to win a green jacket. She joined Condoleezza Moore, Darla Rice and other women.
Player responded quickly when Augusta National Women’s Amateur Golf Tournament was mentioned as a great thing Augusta National is doing for women’s golf. “I don’t disagree with you on this.”
